Dubai British School Mira (DBS Mira) is Taaleem's fifth Dubai British School. It is Taaleem's second greenfield DBS project, announced in 2023 as part of a five-year growth strategy. The school is located in Emaar's Mira community and is designed to serve more than 1,600 students at full utilisation. It opened in August 2025 with an initial cohort of FS1 to Year 6, around 700 students. There are plans to expand to Year 13 in the future.
The school aims to foster a warm, inclusive community for students and families. On opening, about a quarter of students were from the Mira community, with roughly 70% from other nearby communities. Taaleem emphasises a sense of community and sustainability across DBS campuses. The DBS Mira program includes partnerships with external providers, such as the Centre for Musical Arts, to deliver music and performance programs on campus.
Across the Dubai British Schools network, parent engagement is framed as part of the school community, though a DBS Mira-specific PTA charter or committee is not publicly enumerated. Taaleem's initiatives show a culture of family involvement through programs such as Emirates Litfest Poetry Award, Rhodes Programme, and ChoirFest Middle East, which involve students, families, and the wider community. There are active partnerships with community and cultural programs that illustrate a framework that PTA-like bodies typically support. The opening of DBS Mira attracted strong parental interest, with families from Mira and nearby communities enrolling in the first year. As the campus matures, a formal PTA or equivalent structure may be established to coordinate fundraising, volunteering, and family events.
Dubai British School Mira provides the English National Curriculum and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework for students aged 3 to 18. Located in the Mira Oasis community, the campus features specific facilities including a swimming pool for physical education and dedicated learning spaces for foundation, primary, and secondary students. A distinctive feature of the school is its "Enjoy, Aspire, Achieve" philosophy, which integrates personal wellbeing and academic goals into daily routines. The school implements a structured inclusion model, offering "Quality First Teaching" alongside push-in and pull-out interventions led by a specialized Inclusion Team to support diverse learning needs. Students participate in an enrichment program categorized into Active, Creative, and Academic tracks, ensuring a variety of extracurricular options. Furthermore, teachers utilize a specific verbal feedback and diagnostic marking system to track student understanding continuously.
